Shiba Inu

$SHIB

The self-described Dogecoin killer that built an actual ecosystem.

“The little brother who hit the gym, learned to code, and built ShibaSwap. Not the original — but committed to the bit.”

I. Origin

Launched August 2020 as an ERC-20 experiment in 'decentralized community building.' Half the supply was sent to Vitalik, who burned it.

Showed that a meme could ship infrastructure — L2, DEX, NFTs, lore.
